Definitions

Our privacy statement is meant to be simple and understandable for everyone. It generally uses the official terminology of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The official termination is explained in Art. 4 of the GDPR.

Data processing in connection with the use of our website

When you access our website, it is technically necessary that data is transferred to our server through your internet browser. The following data is transmitted between your internet browser and our webserver during an ongoing connection:

• Accessed domain • date and time of request • webpage from where the data is being requested • access status (file has been transmitted, not found, etc.) • type and version of web browser used as well as operating system used • IP address of the requesting server • amount of data transferred

We collect the data listed above to ensure a seamless connection with and an uninterrupted use of the website. In addition, the log data serves to evaluate the system security and stability; further, it serves administrative purposes. Legal basis for saving the data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.

For reasons of technical security, in particular for the defense against attempted attacks on our web server, we retain copies of such data for short periods of time. Such data does not allow us to draw conclusions as to particular persons. After not less than three days, the data is deleted. We do not evaluate the data other than in anonymized form for statistical purposes. Further, we also do not collate such data with data from other sources.

Contact form and contact via e-mail

In case you send us requests via e-mail, we will save the information contained in your e-mail including your contact details contained therein for the purpose of answering your request and for follow-up questions. Under no circumstances will we forward such data to third parties without your approval. Legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest to answer your request pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR as well as Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if applicable, provided that your request aimed at the conclusion of an agreement. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, provided that we are not subject to statutory retention obligation.

Use of local web fonts

We use script libraries and font libraries (no google web fonts) on this website to present our contents correctly and graphically appealing across all browsers.

Web fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support web fonts or does not allow access, content is displayed in a default font.

Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator when reloading fonts. In theory, it is possible – but currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that operators of corresponding libraries collect data. The web fonts used on this website are hosted locally only and loaded from our web server, which prevents a data connection to the service provider.

LinkedIn

We maintain an online presence on LinkedIn in order to inform the users active there about our services. During a visit to our LinkedIn site, LinkedIn as the responsible body (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland) collects personal data from users, for example through the use of cookies. LinkedIn uses the data collected to create user profiles. These are used by LinkedIn to display advertisements within and outside of the platform that are believed to match your interests. User profiles may also store data independent of the devices you use. LinkedIn may also collect information from visitors to our LinkedIn site who are not logged in or registered with LinkedIn. We have no influence on the use and handling of your personal data by LinkedIn.

We only receive anonymous statistics from LinkedIn regarding the use of our LinkedIn site. We cannot draw any conclusions about individual users from these statistics.

As part of our online presence on LinkedIn, you occasionally have the option of requesting information from us on current legal topics via a form (so-called “Lead Gen Form”). The data you provide in the form will be stored by LinkedIn and transmitted to us. We use it to process your request for information and to occasionally inform you by e-mail (newsletter) about our legal consulting services.

In this case, our processing of the data is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

Subject to legal retention periods, we will delete your personal data as soon as you withdraw your consent to receive the newsletter.
